Abstract:  Do social work students and practitioners have consistent professional values? According to the data analysis, in terms of occupational values, both put a high value on selfdevelopment, altruism and relationship with coworkers; both put a low value on power and high earnings. The difference is that the students put a high value on creativity but the practitioners put a high value on the relationship with leaders. In terms of value conflicts with clients, the practitioners show more intendancies. Based on the findings, measure such as the necessity of social work school education, the ideal realist′s education and training, consonance between cognition and behavior of professional values, and the necessity of professional value localization are suggested.
